70% off at Albertson's

Apparently a few women hit up the air fresheners this morning before I got there. *sigh* I heard from a few people that they had 2 shopping carts piled high and the cashier told me their total before the discounts and coupons was like $2,200. O_O So I got very little, which I'm not really pleased about. Oh well I still got a little bit, which is better than nothing I suppose.

I guess they dropped prices to 50% on Sunday so I didn't get any laundry detergent or very many cleaners either. Friday I'm going back to see what is left since it is payday and I can validate buying a little more.


Today's trip I saved $253.18 and spent $48.38. :D

Not clipping my Qs..

the day I get them means I end up with hours of clipping 2 weeks later. O_O

I have been cleaning up my Qs again, and clipping the inserts from the 1st. I'm still not totally done either. Ugh. Not to mention that I have a crazy amount of IPs. I've got 4 card holder sheets left and I took out makeup, and other beauty Qs, as well as most new medicine Qs. I need to go buy more but I can only find the sheets at Office Max and it's like $3 for 10 sheets. I don't think I have much choice in the matter unless I want to carry around ziploc baggies in addition to my binder.

Oh Thrifty blog, how I ignore thee..

And I'm not doing it on purpose. I swear I'm not. We've been working on adjusting my youngest daughters sleep schedule, and the last few days have been pretty good. Although by about 2pm I'm a walking zombie for some reason. O_o

Anywho.. Back to the purpose of this blog..

I have gone to Albertson's a few times this week alrady the first trip I got things that I had coupons for and that had a low stock. Like the last box of Minute Rice, and the last jar of Welch's grape jelly. Today things were marked down a little more, but still not as much as I would like on some things. So I once again got a few things that were deeply discounted like some party sets (plates, napkins, hats, cups and invites) for both my girls. One Dora themed set, and one Backyardagins set. I also got a dozen CFL light bulbs since we keep blowing bulbs in this house.

My total today was $51.xx and I saved $123.xx! *happy dance*


Hopefully next week the discounts on EVERYTHING will be 50% or more. Then I can validate buying more things. :D

Not too bad eh?

I went to Target yesterday to look for some storage containers for my flour and corn meal (which they didn't have), and as I was walking past the registers I see something amazing. Hangtags on Sobe LifeWater! 50c/1. Look at price. 10/$10, sweet. Look for the $5 gift card when you buy 10 offer. Ends 2/7. Check Blackberry for date. The 7th. SWEET!

I snatched 30 of them, and still left some. :D

I also went and got 4 boxes of Kotex pantiliners.

It went like this..

10 Sobe LifeWater
-$5 MQs
OOP - $5
Get $5 GC

10 Sobe LifeWater

10 Sobe LifeWater

4 Kotex Liners
- $8 Target Qs

OOP - 82c


So I spent $5.82 OOP, but I still have a $5 Target GC. So my adjusted OOP is 82c! :D

Albertson's Closing

The Albertson's nearest to me is closing. I hit it up and got a few things that I need and that they had very little left of that matches Qs.

4 Hershey's 100 Calorie Bars
1 50ct box Twinings Earl Gray tea (my b/f loves it)
1 6pk Boost for Kids (coupon to try it free)
1 Scrubbing Bubbles Auto Shower Cleaner Starter Kit
1 100ct box paper clips
2 boxes Pringles Stix
1 Valentine's Day Card
2 boxes Hefty Zipper Freezer Bags (gallon size)
14 packets Hodgson Quick Rising Yeast

My OOP was $33.74 and I saved $44.28

Now I'll have freezer bags for the nearly 20 pounds of meat I'm planning on getting. Curse my Foodsaver for breaking. :(

I think I'm going to go to CVS and do the $20 P&G / Madagascar 2 deal. I hear there's going to be a $5 off coupon for the movie in this upcoming paper so that would make it free. I also need to go to Costco to get about 10 pounds of hamburger since I can't seem to find any on sale this week. All that would add $45 on to my bill. So $135 for all that, but it does get me stocked up a bit on meat for us, and pasta sauce. ;)

Kitchen Thrift

I started my "cooking" blog. :D

Since there's not a whole lot in the way of WAGs and CVS in the near future that really thrills me I'm going to concentrate on my food for the family. There is an Albertson's nearby that is closing down and I'll be getting stuff from there hopefully at a decent discount. I was in there a few days ago and they were taking coupons still, so here's hoping that they will be come Saturday when I can get over there.
